Dear Friends:

I’m proud to be a Marylander and I take every opportunity to show off the greatness of our state. Maryland’s been called “America in miniature” for good reason.  I think it’s our proud history, rich culture, and scenic vistas make this state truly unique.

I invite you to help me showcase the beauty of Maryland.  Please send me your original photography or other visual works to photos@cardin.senate.gov. One image will be selected as the featured background on my Facebook page. Runners-up will be featured on my homepage: cardin.senate.gov.  

You may submit more than one image, but please send just one image per email submission. In addition to your photo, please include:

1.         Your name

2.         Where you live (Maryland County, City/Town)

3.         The location of the photo (Include which region of the state Western, Baltimore/Central, National Capital Region, Southern, Eastern Shore)

4.         Brief  description of submission (No more than 100 words)

Submissions are due 5pm ET May 31. Winners will be announced on or about June 5. One image from each region will be selected as background on my homepage (cardin.senate.gov). From the top five regional submissions, one overall winner will be chosen to be my Facebook cover photo.

Space permitting, all submissions will be displayed on my Facebook and Flickr.

I look forward to seeing great submissions.
